SUPLEAR PECORD AND LEVl PECORD, OF GONCORDIA, KANSAS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,766, dated July 9, 1889. A

Serial No. 295,282. (No model.)

To all whom it )nay concern:

Be it known that we, SUP'LEAR PECORD and LEvr'PEooRD, citizens ot the United States, residing at Concordia, in the county ot Cloud and State ot Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabin ets, ot which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates 'to improvements in kitchen -cabinetsg and it consists in certain .novel features hereinafter describedv and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is l a front view ot the device closed up. Fig. 2

is a similar view showing the drop-door low-k ered to form a bread-table, and showing one ot the swinging doors open so as to display the interior construction. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectionj and Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section.

Referring to the drawings by let-ter, A ignates the casing ot our improved cabinet, which may be ot any desired dimensions, and

is provided at about its center and between its center and its top with the horizontal par meal bins G H, which extend trom the top ot the casing to the horizontal partition C.

In the top ot the casin g we provide the feedopenings I J, through which the iour and meal are placed in the bins, and the bins are further provided in their lower ends with the discharge-openings K L. The feed-openings are normally closed by removable caps M, while the discharge-openings are adapt-ed to be closed and opened at will by means ot sliding valves.

To the under side of the partition C we se. cure the parallel ribs or cleats N, which are arranged longitudinally ot the partition and support a slide Q, which carries a sitter l), as shown. By properly moving thisslide the sitter is 4brought beneath either the Hour or meal bin, as will be readily understood. Near the side ot the easingand just below the iiour des-4 `and meal bins we provide the slides Q R, which are arranged between the cleats N and the partitions C, and are adapted to open and close the discharge-openings in the bottoms ot the bins.

The tront ot the space between the horizontal partitions D C is closed by a drop-door S, which is secured to the tront ot the casing and is adapted to be lowered, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to form a bread-board, and is suping armT, wliich is pivotally mounted in the tront of the casing below the said drop-door. The door is held in its raised position by hooks U, pivoted to the sides ot the casing and engaging eyes V, secured in the edges of the drop-door.

Below the partition B we provide a drawer W, which is adapted to receive the bread-pans and pie-pans which are not in use, and below this drawer we arrangethe shelf X, upon which the loaves ot bread 'are placed, the space below the said shelf being provided tor truit-j ars. Upon the tront ot the casing we provide the doors Y, which are adapted to close the `space between the drawer W and the bottom ot the casing.

below the sitter and is adapted to receive the iiour or meal from the sitter.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that we have provided a very simple and compactly arranged device, by which a large number ot household articles can be conveniently stored away, and at 'the same time will allow ot 'easy access to the articles.

Vhen it is desired to use flour, the slide R is pushed inward, so as to close the dischargeopening ot the meal-bin, while the slide Q is drawn outward, thereby unclosing the disbin so that the iiour will pass into the sitter. The sitter is then operated so as to clean the iiour as it passes to the'bread-pan. Vhen it is desired to use meal, the slide Q is pushed inward and the slide R drawn outward, and the sitter placed below the meal-bin, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described our invention, what ported in said casing by ahorizontally-swing Z designates a breadpan,which is arranged charge-opening ot the flour-bin, and the sitter is then brought into alignment wi thV the iiour-` IOO we Claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a kitchen-cabinet, the combination,

with the Casing having a horizontal partition C, and the llonr and meal bins arranged between said partition and the top of the oasing, of the slide O, supported by the said partition and earrying a sifter, and inoving under the months of the bins so as to bring the sifter under either, and the independent transverse slides Q R, arranged between the partition and the slide O, and adapted to @over or nneover the months in the lower ends of the bins, as set forth.

2. The Combination, with the easing having the horizontal partition C, and the flour and meal bins arranged between the said lpartition and the top of the easing, of the cleats N, secured to the under side of said partition,

In testimony that We Claim the foregoing as our own We have hereto aflixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

SUPLEAR PECORD.
